Chapter 39: The Emperor Ling Died

Chapter 39 The Emperor of Spirit Death

Since she accidentally learned about Yang Rong at Zhang Zhongjing, Ma Chao's heart has also calmed down. After all, Yang Rong can send her brother thousands of miles away and seek medical treatment everywhere. This friendship alone is enough to show that Yang Rong is not an ordinary woman, and he also believes that Yang Rong will definitely come back.

Although Ma Chao was still quite concerned about her safety, he could not be separated and went to Jiangdong to search. After all, there are hundreds of counties in Jiangdong, so he could not search for them one by one. Besides, the situation in Luoyang is now chaotic. Ma Chao knew very well that if he wanted to make a difference in this chaotic world, he had to take this opportunity to seize it.

At the end of April of the summer of the sixth year of Zhongping, Emperor Ling of Han.

At dawn that day, a burst of cannons suddenly came from the direction of Luoyang, followed by various bells and drums, which lasted for a long time and resounded throughout the nine days.

After Ma Chao was awakened, he hurriedly put on his clothes and walked into the yard. At this time, the awakened soldiers in the yard looked at the direction of Luoyang.

"It seems that His Majesty has passed away." Zhang Zhongjing looked up at Luoyang for a long time, sighed and fell to the ground.

Ma Chao's expression changed and he knelt down to the ground. The soldiers of the three armies knelt on the ground one after another. After bowing to Luoyang, Ma Chao stood up and said, "Ling Ming, immediately go to the city to find out the truth."

"Abide by the order!" After receiving the order, Pang De led more than ten cavalry to Luoyang City.

"Meng Qi, Luoyang will be in trouble in the future. I am an ordinary person and have no desire to fight here. Tomorrow I will travel around the world. If you only need to take medicine for another two months, you will be fine. I hope you and I will still have a chance to meet in the future." After Zhang Zhongjing stood up, he suddenly told Ma Chao that his plan was about to leave.

Ma Chao looked back at Zhang Zhongjing. Seeing that he had decided to leave, he knew that he could not return, so he had to bow with emotion: "Mr. I remember my kindness in my heart. If there is any order in another day, Chao will repay you with a spring of water."

"Meng Qi, please get up quickly. It is my duty to save people and treat them. You don't need to worry about it. Today, you and I don't care about your kindness, only about your friendship. We will not return until we are drunk." Zhang Zhongjing smiled generously and returned to the house with Ma Chao.

At the Luoyang General's Mansion, all the civil and military generals gathered together, all of whom looked solemn. At this time, He Jin, who was sitting upright, said in a deep voice: "Sima Fanyin just came to report that Your Majesty has passed away. Now I have ordered the army to fire together and announce the death of Your Majesty to the people in the city."

"However, the eunuchs in the palace, led by Qian Shuo, wanted to make a mistake and tried to lure and kill the general, and even wanted to make the prince Xie the emperor. You and others thought, how should we deal with this matter?"

Cao Cao, who was the lieutenant of the military officer at the time, came out loudly and said loudly: "For the sake of the present, it is not too late to lift the throne first and then deal with the eunuchs."

"General, Meng De's words are very good. He is willing to use five thousand elite soldiers to escort the general into the palace, support the new king, and destroy the eunuch party to peace in the world." Yuan Shao took the lead without waiting for He Jin to ask.

He Jin was overjoyed when he heard this, "It's so great that all the generals can follow me into the palace."

Then, under the escort of five thousand imperial guards, He Jin rushed into the palace and killed Qian Shuo directly into the inner palace. In front of Emperor Ling, he supported the crown prince Liu Bian and ascended the throne.

Qian Shuo was persuaded by Zhu, Yuan Shao to persuade General He Jin, and Zhang Rang and other eunuchs, but they were refuted and had no choice but to retreat.

Within a few days, the Empress Dowager Dong, instigated by the eunuch Zhang Rang, caused another storm, trying to stand up with Empress He, which annoyed the He clan. He Jin then raised troops again and deposed the Empress Dowager Dong clan.

Ma Chao, who lives in Zhang Zhongjing's thatched cottage in Mangshan, heard these chaotic events in the court, couldn't help but think: "He Jin is really a man. If he took advantage of the situation to all the eunuchs, support the new master and implement benevolent policies, the Han Dynasty would have been revived. Now he is sitting on the sidelines of eunuchs, and the disaster of killing them is not far away."

The historical picture staged in Luoyang City did not happen because of the arrival of Ma Chao. Everything continued to go on like history. Ten months later, war broke out again in Luoyang.

In the evening of the day, Pang De hurried back and said as soon as he saw Ma Chao, "General He Jin was killed."

"What's the situation in the city now?" Ma Chao looked calm and was not surprised. He poured a glass of water for Pang De and asked in a deep voice.

"All troops and horses in the city are moving together, surrounding eunuchs everywhere." Pang De raised his head and drank a sip of water, and replied truthfully.

After hearing this, Ma Chao felt a clear mind and said, "I will tell my brothers to have a full meal. Tonight is the time for us to make contributions."

At the beginning of the night, Ma Chao led 300 soldiers under his command, scattered at the foot of Mang Mountain. At the second update, a team of people came to the foot of the mountain with torches. Ma Chao looked carefully at the mountainside and said, "This must be a team of traitors, and all the soldiers will follow me."

"Light up the torch." Ma Chao three hundred riders quietly went up and surrounded the team of people at the foot of the mountain.

This group of people is only a hundred people. It is the eunuchs led by Zhang Rang, who are holding the young emperor and his party hostage. At this moment, Zhang Rang suddenly saw the soldiers falling from the sky and stood on the spot.

"Rebel, dare to take Your Majesty hostage and kill!" Ma Chao saw that there were two young men in the team, wearing purple robes, and they were expected to be the emperor. He immediately came out of the horse, flew out of the rainbow spear in his hand, and stabbed him in succession, and rushed into the formation.

Seeing this, Pang De and his soldiers rode their horses and rushed in. Zhang Rang and his party had seen this formation there, but before they could resist, they were all over the place.

"Your Majesty, the last general rescue will be late, which will scare your Majesty." When Ma Chao waved his spear and slashed the head of the last eunuch, he flew off the horse and bowed and said.

The emperor surrounded by the emperor and King Chenliu had seen this formation. When they saw the head that was chopped down by Ma Chao, they rolled down to their feet, their faces turned pale and they didn't dare to speak for a long time.

"Come here, escort Your Majesty back first." Ma Chao knew that they were obviously frightened when he saw their expressions.

After returning to the thatched cottage, they had just recovered. When Ma Chao brought the wine and food, the young boy in the middle said, "General, you are alone in the palace. Why have you never seen you?"

"I am Ma Chao, the son of the governor of Liangzhou, Ma Teng, and now he is appointed as the general of the Liangzhou Guardian. Therefore, it is not surprising that the prince has never seen the last general." Ma Chao explained and said, "Your Majesty, you can drink and eat first, and it's not too late."

When he heard that Ma Chao was a lieutenant general in the court, the young emperor Liu Bian finally breathed a sigh of relief. After eating wine and food, King Liu Xie of Chenliu said, "The general will give you a reward after returning to the court. Please escort Your Majesty and I will return to the palace."
